How does monsoon work?

Answer 1

It's basically sea-breezes on a large scale. The sea cools down coasts that way. Land warms faster than sea, you see, so all that warmth creates pressure that has to rise up to the atmosphere to balance up the pressure gradient. That leaves an opening to cooler air from the sea to sweep in and cool the air around the coast. Neat huh?

Basically, in Monsoons, in just happens on a greater scale, and limited to specifically-defined coasts. The major monsoon systems of the world consist of the West African and Asia-Australian monsoons.

Answer 2

Monsoon is a seasonal wind pattern that brings heavy rainfall to certain regions. It occurs due to temperature differences between land and sea, causing air to rise, cool, and condense into clouds that produce rain. The shift in wind direction between seasons leads to the characteristic wet and dry periods associated with monsoon climates.
